A Day To Celebrate....

It was several years ago, I was born on November 25! I was adopted in Chicago, Illinois when I was 3 weeks old. by two wonderful people...Betty & Maurice Jones. I've been asked growing up when I knew I was adopted. I guess I have always known, because when I was old enough to understand, they both made sure to tell me. They way they did it.. 'I was wanted!', which worked for me. They are/were my Mom & Daddy.. showing me love, discipline and support. Teaching me to respect others, and don't be afraid of hard work. It will pay off. If I make mistakes, to learn from them! Lots of life's lessons have been because of my parents. So today is bittersweet for me. It's a Happy Me Day, but Betty & Maurice are no longer w/ me physically, but in spirit they are w/ me and in my heart always!

Today I celebrate having such GREAT PARENTS.. WHO LOVED AND SUPPORTED ME UNCONDITIONALLY! For that I say THANK YOU! My Happy You Day is actually ...HAPPY CELEBRATE MY FAMILY DAY! I'm also Thankful today for having FAMILY IN MY HUBBY TED AND HIS FAMILY! It's nice to have people around you who Love and Support you. For that , I celebrate today!

Celebrate each day w/ your family and loved ones. Cherish each moment you have w/ them. It's what will get you through when they can't be w /you. You will have them in your heart, and head w/ great memories!
